Pepsi Spice

I thought this was a joke when I saw the commercial, because "spicy" was a word that I never thought would be used in association with a soft drink. Even Dr. Pepper, which actually does taste a little spicy, has always avoided saying as such:

PEPSI INTRODUCES SPICY NEW VERSION FOR THE HOLIDAYS
From the very first gifts of frankincense and myrrh to the spice cake we enjoy today, spices and the holidays have always gone together. Food and drink are central to the holiday cheer, making Pepsi Holiday Spice the perfect and fun complement to the celebrations.

It's better than the annual Jones Soda holiday pack, which this year has yummy flavors like Mashed Potato and Gravy and Green Bean Casserole, but at least they are intentionally trying to gross you out.

I already tasted it. They added an oddly chemical tasting cinnamon flavor to Pepsi, making it redder, and just tasting gross.

I saw the Jones Soda thing! Gross. I guess, if your contemplating getting your toungue pierced but don't want to miss Thanksgiving dinner, now you don't have to, because you can drink it. So all you would-be tongue piercers what are you waiting for, RUN I TELL YOU, get your tongue pierced and enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner too. {{{hmmmm, how did Pepsi spice turn into tongue piercing?}}}

I always thought Pepsi Spice had more talent than Sporty and Posh put together.

Pepsi+mulling spices=wrong.
Maybe some whiskey would help it...

Oh Jesus. I tried this schlitz the other night. I was driving in my car alone and it was dark out, yet I still grimaced and made "yicky" faces for a good 30 seconds after I took the first sip. I maybe got an ounce down before abandoning all hope that it could even pretend to be good.

It's not that bad. It falls somewhere between Crystal Pepsi and Pepsi Blue.
